    I am near to another redeem on I*s*s but I haven't had the last one yet. Thought they used to be quite quick in sending them out. I just checked, the last one before took three days from claim to sending out, this one I claimed 30/6 and it says stage 2 what ever that is.
    Hi Rufus, I ordered 1 of these on 21/6 & got it on 18/7 so shouldn't be long now hopefully

    I'm back!!!!!

    OMG I cannot believe how long it has been since I was last on this thread, work went Crazy and I haven't had any time to myself for months, I thought as the kids got older I would get more time but with homework, after school clubs, football and swimming phew I'm so glad its Summer and can spend some time catching up with my old friends on this thread!
    I must have about 150 pages of reading to do, but I WILL!!
    I have still been money making, selling on ebay mostly, and we have managed 2 Sun holidays using the proceeds as spending money which were awesome. Now all my ebay profits go on Christmas, I have some present shopping done, but in all earnest most of it starts now, although my list is ready and waiting!
    Be patient with me if you don't hear from me for a while, it means I'm still catching up!

    Afternoon all

    Hello Foxy, nice to see you back again xx

    Samba, thanks for that about I*s*s, will keep my fingers crossed it wont be long.

    I got my pictures done for my shop so that's something else done, the bag is in my shop now (photos on my blog). I made two but they are practically the same so only listing as one item but two of them. Haven't done any other money making today except cutting out some more bag linings. Was going to do some more this afternoon but got a head ache so giving it a miss.

    Rufus - I hope your headache gets better soon.

    Foxy and Samba - Hiya both. I'm really glad you're ok. :)

    Thanks for the code Michelle. I didn't make it in time and it's expired. Well done with the reviews hun.

    I've posted 11 on chow and five are brand new ones, the others are really updated DooU ones. When I looked at the originals, I think they are really bad compared to the ones I do now.

    I'm at 5/15 and £8.60 off a cheque - my first ever, as I usually go for £20 Amzon. :j:j:j

    Woohoo, the summer holidays have officially started :D I am going to chill out so much tonight!
    I got so many prezzies from my class, it made me feel all loved and appreciated. I am now surrounded by more chocolate than is really decent for one person to own! I got some really thoughtful prezzies and the kids loved telling me their reasons for getting various things. One of my favourites is a big Lush bath bomb. I've always wanted to try something from Lush but I don't tend to spend much money on myself, so it was lovely to be treated :) I even got 3 prezzies for the baby!
    Making money for Christmas 2012!

    That's good Nicky. I always like to thank the teachers. You do such a great job. :A

    I bought DD's teacher a 'Teachers Notes' notebook from funky pigeon personalised with her name, and a personalised pen from Vista. She was over the moon. I do try and avoid chocolate - there is only so much you can eat.

    Put your feet up tonight, and then spoil yourself to that bathbomb. Yay the holidays have started. :j

    Elysia thanks for the heads up on viva surveys. I managed 3 £1 ones:j

    nicky enjoy the holidays. I gave the teachers a mug which my ds decorated, a personlaised pen from vista and a mini box of roses (figured they would get loads of chocs but a teeny box wouldn't be too much!)

    michelle thanks for the code - it had expired for me too

    rufus hope your head is better

    samba thanks for the info on i*s*s vouchers. I redeemed yesterday so will have a bit of a wait!
